When I tried to add the Flash Detection script from this page: [kirupa.com - Flash Detection Scripts](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/detection.htm) (the first one)

I uploaded it, it detects it at seems to load to the flash version of the site but the loading bar starts going crazy, the page stops responding and I have to shut it down with Task Manager. So im assuming there’s somethign wrong with the javascript, but I dont know what…

any ideas?

this is what my code looks like:

> 

var MM\_contentVersion = 6;  
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes[“application/x-shockwave-flash”]) ? navigator.mimeTypes[“application/x-shockwave-flash”].enabledPlugin : 0;  
if ( plugin ) {  
var words = navigator.plugins[“Shockwave Flash”].description.split(" ");  
for (var i = 0; i \< words.length; ++i)  
{  
if (isNaN(parseInt(words\*)))  
continue;  
var MM\_PluginVersion = words\*;  
}  
var MM\_FlashCanPlay = MM\_PluginVersion \>= MM\_contentVersion;  
}  
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf(“MSIE”)\>=0  
&& (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(“Win”) != -1)) {  
document.write(‘\<SCR’ + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript&gt;  
'); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag  
document.write('on error resume next  
');  
document.write(‘MM\_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject(“ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.” & MM\_contentVersion)))  
‘);  
document.write(’\</SCR’ + 'IPT&gt;  
');  
}  
if ( MM\_FlashCanPlay ) {  
window.location.replace(“[http://www.thenutcompany.ie/indexf.html](http://www.thenutcompany.ie/indexf.html)”);  
} else{  
window.location.replace(“[http://www.thenutcompany.ie/index.html](http://www.thenutcompany.ie/index.html)”);  
}
